I had Migraines for years. I started with Imitrex Injections and eventually changed to nasal spray. There is no bad taste once you learn how to use it correctly. Don't place it far into your nose and inhale gently 2 or 3 times and don't tip head back. I love that I can take it in the middle of church and not even be noticed. No water needed and I don't have to leave. Headaches are gone in 15 t...

Beware using this drug. They don't tell you how it can cause lethal heart problems, even in those who have had no history. I will go to my grave knowing this drug killed my wife. 39 years old and gone.

OK...so I just recently found out that if I take my Imitrex nasal spray, along with 2 Aleve that the results are amazing! I used to have migraines that lasted 8-10 hours, and now they are gone within about an hour!

My eight year old son was given this medication after developing migraines. He was hesitant at first due to the nostril application but after trying it he was so excited because it worked within five minutes. I think it's great for children who may find migraines scary and confusing.

This has been a miracle for me. After years of suffering migraines, it was finally prescribed. My migraines are accompanied by severe nausea and the nasal spray allows the medicine to stay put. It works for me in 15-20 minutes. There have been rare occasions that it did not work but I now have a different script to use if that is the case. I would not recommend taking more than 1 dose in a day or 4 in a month. It sometimes makes me feel a little "off" or dizzy but it is worth it to not be suffering the migraine pain and the vomiting.Read More Read Less

42 year old male that has had cluster headaches for 10+ years, usually 6 weeks cycles each year. Use 20mg spray when I feel the headache coming on and it often stops it right away. Much better than the pills because of the speed of relief. Often works in 5 minutes. Always have 1 in my car or 2 during the cycles, and stock up over the year from insurance restrictions. Since insurance looks at this as migraine relief they don't consider the cluster sufferer in the same way and will often not cover extra medicine during cluster cycles.Read More Read Less

Leaves an awful taste but usually works well. However, I find it difficult to make sure I always have one with me.

I don't like putting things in my nose, so after suffering for two days with a migraine, I finally used it. Within one hour most symptoms were completely gone and I could rest. Now I use it at the first sign of a severe headache and its gone within 15-20 minutes. Great stuff.
